Hello guys,
It's nice to meet you all.

I'm a 2D animator who would love to work for big companies.
Any advice on how to increase my chances of landing my dream job?
I hope to learn 3D and increase my skills there as well.

Thank you.

First step would be to put together a portfolio and start racking up some experience. You might have to start as a freelancer or to build up some rep, I suggest you try Upwork and see if you can land any interesting projects to get you started.

Hello!
Thank you for the advice. I'm working on my portfolio, and I'm open to freelancing and increasing my skills.

Could you recommend me if you stumble upon an animation project?

This is my portfolio:
http://be.net/marwa_makarem

and this is my LinkedIn profile:
http://www.linkedin.com/in/marwa-makarem

I'm looking forward to connecting with you on LinkedIn.

Thank you!!

The strength of your portfolio is the key. If you don't have a ton of experience yet, you can conceptualize your own original ideas and animate that for your portfolio. If you want to get into 3D, I suggest looking into Maya, which is pretty much the industry standard. Good luck!

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

Many thanks in advance since I’m now a ball of stress 😩😩
